You can call it amateurish and shitty all you want, but I'll take Express (on Node) over Flask or Tornado (on Python) any day.

- justin_vanw 11y agoWell, to be fair, Flask is kind of crappy and does anyone even use Tornado anymore? I always just set up a project myself using Werkzeug, in the era of WSGI, almost all of the heavy lifting for web apps is done automatically and outside of your application anyway.
- NhanH 11y agoThis is the first time I've seen Flask being called crappy. Do you mind elaborate why?
- Twirrim 11y agoBecause it's not written in javascript, obviously
- nealrs 11y agoFlask isn't crappy. It's an excellent way for learners & aspiring polyglots (like me) to build a functional app and learn about routing. And it's got a bazillion useful extensions. Is it great for a production environment? No clue. Same with Tornado. But it's definitely a solid pick.
- poulsbohemian 11y ago>does anyone even use Tornado anymore? We do for as many apps as possible. The async / callback structure is far easier for our developers to understand over Javascript/Node. Tornado is significantly different from other Python frameworks like Django and Flask, but IMHO it is under appreciated.
